A deeply humane, quietly devastating, mesmerisingly beautiful masterpiece.

White on White is an ambitious palette.

[An] oddly enthralling tale about a postgrad student bearing witness to an artist's marital breakdown

Marvelous, as elegant as an opaque sheet of ice that belies the swift and turbulent waters beneath.

A haunting, irresistible novel. I loved this book for its depth and perception, for its beauty and eerie rhythms, but most of all for its wonderfully dream-like spell. It's breathtaking.

In the middle ages, human skin was seen as a blanket stretched to cover a secret, inner life, writes Aysegül Savas. Reading White on White for me is like an outer skin which you open layer by layer as you read; gentle, mysterious and profound.

Terse, slender and exquisite, like a finely-wrought figurine carved in bone, White on White spins its tale of doubles, womanhood and power with the magnetic pull of a thriller, while refusing to settle for easy resolution. I loved its quiet, observant wisdom; its willingness to look for depth underneath shiny surfaces.

I was riveted by it. The delicate restraint of the language just adds to its power.

Savas's characters watch each other as they avoid themselves, in an acute and obliterating double portrait.

A superb novel by an exceptionally elegant, intelligent, and original writer.

Fans of Rachel Cusk's Outline trilogy should take note of this striking portrait.

IDOL is such a cleverly constructed novel, taking a scalpel to the superficiality of social media and the wellness industry. O'Neill writes so perceptively about adolescent friendships, toxic relationships, and how our personal truths can be littered with self-delusion. It's a timely story - a morality tale for the Instagram generation - and all the more compelling for it.

I don't think I've ever enjoyed hating a character as much as I hated Samantha Miller. This fierce tale of toxic female friendship is unlike anything I have read. Highly original, unflinching and with a devilishly dark conclusion, I loved every page of it.

Idol is sharp, unflinching and timely, and made me question what's real in a world where likes and clicks matter more than ever. It's a book that dazzles and mesmerises, and will linger in your thoughts long after you finish reading.

I'm completely in awe of what Louise O'Neill has done with this brilliant and riveting book. Idol is absolutely astonishing. It's one of those rare novels you desperately want to eke out - to make it last forever - but then can't help yourself rushing through, staying up all night to finish. It's so well-written and pacy, I was literally breathless for the last 100 pages.

IDOL is that rare combination of thought-provoking and page-turning - the very definition of a novel for our times

IDOL is Louise O'Neill at the very top of her game. This is a clever, zeitgiesty read, which will play with your emotions as if they were scrabble tiles and give you characters that you love then hate on the turn of a page but you won't be able to stop reading. This is going to be one of the most talked about books of the year

Brutal, compulsive, brilliant. Louise O'Neill exposes the contradictions and quandaries of influencer culture with her usual perceptiveness.

Flirting with the tropes of its namesake genre, this playful novel follows Sally, a writer on an "S.N.L."-like show called "Night Owls," who falls in love with one of its guest hosts. Their relationship develops via e-mail in the post-grocery-wiping, pre-vaccine days of covid-19. When Sally decides to visit her beloved in L.A., their time together in his Topanga mansion requires her to navigate incredulity, insecurity, and an offer that she feels is an "affront to my independence." The novel is preoccupied with the instinctual nature of self-sabotage, and with the fulfillment that can come from defying ingrained impulses
